Title of Art Piece: On Pointe
Category: Photography – 2015
Student/Artist’s Name: Hannah Boleen
School: Kodiak High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: On Pointe
I took this photo in the effort to capture how the dancer’s I know view their art. Through the use of two flashes, one photo left at a high forty-five and one behind the pointe shoes creating rim lighting, I was able to dynamically light the pointe shoes that gave them a glamorous look. But upon closer inspection the pointe shoes are worn and ragged. In the same way dancing looks beautiful, but underneath it is hard, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally.
